Businesses hiring AI leaders too early risk costly mistakes, warns La Fosse
Research from the company found that 69% of employees believe their organisation now needs an AI specialist at C-suite level.

Research from the company found that 69% of employees believe their organisation now needs an AI specialist at C-suite level.

While 87% of tech employees reported that their organisation offers some form of AI guidance, only 58% have received formal training, research from La Fosse revealed.

The La Fosse survey found executives responsible for governance were most likely to use AI heavily, override expertise and operate with weak oversight.

Lucy Kemp said lily padding is the future of work and warned that employers who do not adapt risk losing talent.

The trend, in which employees remain in roles they have outgrown because they feel safer staying put, is becoming more common, according to data from La Fosse.

Research from La Fosse revealed that the CV is losing relevance as employers turn to tools that assess skills, behaviours and potential.

The scheme follows La Fosse’s Women at Work Blueprint report, which found that women hold just 25% of C-suite positions - a figure that falls even lower for women of colour.

The scheme, unveiled following the company’s UNBOUND initiative launched in July, will pair experienced leaders with rising female talent to provide skills, confidence, and guidance for career progression.
